On the Speed of Gravity and the v/c Corrections to the Shapiro Time Delay

Abstract

Using a relatively simple method, I compute the v/c correction to the gravitational time delay for light passing by a massive object moving with speed v. It turns out that the v/c effects are too small to have been measured in the recent experiment involving Jupiter and quasar J0842+1845 that was used to measure the speed of gravity.
